Global warming and deforestation(森林采伐) are happening at a surprising rate, but they still seem like a foreign concept(概念). The Earth's temperature has been increasing, though slowly, but this is something we cannot simply reverse(逆转). All the damage we do to our Earth is permanent, and though we have already done exceptional damage, we can stop them from worsening.‎ These issues have not yet affected us directly, so we choose to ignore it and continue with our everyday life. People have the need for visual evidence or proof before they decide that an issue is real, but by the time we have that evidence, it may be too late.‎ About one and half acres of our most important source of oxygen is lost every second. Our life source, the rainforest, is being eliminated(根除) for our own selfish reasons. Christ(救世主) will return eventually, but until then, we must take care of our home. We are trying to live on a planet that is slowly being destroyed, and soon it will be like basketball players trying to dribble(运球前进) a ball on grass and mud. For the time being, our kindness depends on the resources God has given us, and it has become like taking care of a pet. Parents will not allow a child a second dog until he shows he can take care of the first one, and God will not supply this Earth again until we show that we can be responsible and take care of it.‎ Showing this reality can only come with time, but time is valuable and slowly running out. Many have taken the first few - 15 - / 15‎ ‎ steps towards saving our planet, but our only hope for survival is that all of the world will realize this before it is too late.‎ ‎24. How do people react to the earth's environment?‎ A. People pay much attention to it.‎ B. People think little of it.‎ C. People haven’t felt it at all.‎ D. People have reduced the earth's temperature.‎ ‎25. The author thinks that we should_________.‎ A. do less permanent damage to the Earth.‎ B. be kind to little animals such as dogs.‎ C. choose to ignore the environment issues.‎ D. protect the environment as early as possible.‎ ‎26. The author thinks that protecting the Earth_________.‎ A. should be a self-conscious action.‎ B. depends on the God.‎ C. should be a forced action.‎ D. depends on our desire.‎ ‎27. Why does the author think humans can realize the importance of the environment in time?‎ A. Because all humans think time valuable.‎ B. Because all humans hope to save our planet.‎ C. Because all humans are desperate for survival.‎ D.Because humans will take steps to save the Earth.‎ C When you put down your pens at the end of college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. It’s time to enjoy yourselves!‎ ‎ There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts.‎ ‎ High school students in western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a party to mark their graduation. It is to mark the time when kids turn into young men and women. After the party, teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they will no longer depend on their parents as before.‎ At the party, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials.‎ Common party activities include dining, dancing, crowning of a ball king and queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class party through the four years of their high school.‎ High schools in or near large cities may rent big rooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure boat. But often - 15 - / 15‎ ‎ costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of efforts to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the party will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip-hop.‎ Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the party. But others like to go with friends, to whom they are soon going to say good-bye.‎ If you like the idea of a party, why don’t you and your classmates organize one for your graduation?‎ ‎28. The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to ________.‎ A. tell an interesting experience of high school students B. tell how the western students spend the last days of high school C. tell how western high school students usually mark their graduation D. introduce several ways of the western students’ killing time ‎29. What does the party mean for western high school students that are about to graduate?‎ ‎ A. They have finished high school and will go to college.‎ B. These teenagers can find a job to support themselves.‎ ‎ C. They have grown up and need friends’ help.‎ D. They are adults and will not depend on parents.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word “mark ” in paragraph 3 mean?‎ A.remember B. celebrate C.sign D.show ‎31. From the fourth paragraph ,we can infer that ________.‎ ‎ A. the party is very interesting ‎ B. girls like to make themselves beautiful at all hours ‎ C. boys wear as usual to attend the party ‎ D. graduates pay much attention to the party D Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.‎ In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable(时兴的) to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid—one can solve all the problem of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees. They refuse to do what they think “low” work, and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work - 15 - / 15‎ ‎ of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor, we can live without education but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns...‎ In fact ,when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brain and ability and, secondly, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.‎ ‎32. From the passage we can conclude that .‎ A. free education can do nothing to help the world B. free education will provide us a perfect world C. all the problems of society can’t be solved by education D. farmers are more important than professors ‎33. It is suggested in this passage that .‎ A. our society needs different kinds of people doing all kinds of work B. work with hands is the most valuable in the world C. we should respect farmers, for we can’t live without them D.farmers and dustmen do not need education as their jobs are very simple ‎34. According to the writer, the purpose of education is .‎ A. to let everyone get free education B. to let people not think it is ashamed of one’s own work with hands C. to make children get ready for their future work D. to choose a system education ‎ ‎35. The passage mainly tells us about .‎ A. the means of education ‎ B. the value of education C. the work children should do in the future ‎ D. the advantage of education 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ People know the dangers of fires. It's good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. 36 .‎ ‎37 . Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.‎ - 15 - / 15‎ Make escape plans. You should know all the ways out of the house. If there is fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.‎ Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. 38 .‎ Practice for a fire at home now and then because it can teach children about fire safety.

First, stop! 40 .The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out.

I’m willing to offer you some help.

So I advise you to learn some oral Chinese first.Then you may begin to try writing some simple Chinese characters. Finally，there is one point for you to remember: practice makes perfect.‎ Another suggestion is that you should experience the native Chinese language environment in person．How about coming to China during the summer holiday？We can talk about our experience in language learning with each other.‎ ‎ Best wishes!‎ Yours Sincerely，‎ Li Hua 听力原文 Text1‎ W: Did you go to the football match last Saturday?‎ M: Oh yes.It was supposed to start at 2:00,but it was delayed 15 minutes.‎ Text2‎ M: Why was Peter late for the meeting this morning?
